I spoke with Eric at TBS to find out some information about the blower and he asked me to measure the case and it was 17" long. He said that 8-71 Blower Cases are 16" long while 10-71 Blower Cases are 17" long. So the Blower is a 10-71 not an 8-71 that we originally thought it was. He also looked up the serial number and said it was built in March of 2001 and was in for service in Feb. of 2010.

We took the heads to JMS Racing to get pressure checked and cleaned up.
We used SCE Titan Copper Head Gaskets
The bitch is home.

Most of the engine components are installed. The transmission is in and Scott is working on the wiring. Hopefully, I will get her back home this week and finish up a couple small things like headers and plumbing. Then back to Lew's to light her up.

I had the trans rebuilt and changed the valve body to a TCI Reverse Order Shift Pattern: Park–Reverse–Neutral–First–Second–Third.
All I can say is the boat is absolutely insane. I got it up to 4,800 - 5,000 RPM's in Havasu chop and we had to be doing 80 - 85 MPH. It gets there right now too. Need to track down some more gremlins but hopefully she will be gremlin free in a month or so. BTW Kevin, Scott used longer bolts on the direct drive so no worries.
